The World’s Longest Performance
A 639-year performance that is based on avant-garde composer John Cage’s “As Slow as Possible” began in September 2001 and is still being played at St. Burchardi Church in Halberstadt, Germany.
The performance is played by an automated organ and progresses so slowly that visitors need to wait months just to hear a chord change. The song is scheduled to conclude in the year 2640. Will there be an encore?
